apache custom error page
|
|
|
| hi,
(vital stats: freebsd, apache 1.3)
i noticed that if i put
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.google.com
in my httpd.conf file, then when i request a page that isn't there i
get redirected to google (as one would expect).
however, if i put
ErrorDocument 404 /my_custom_page.html
in my httpd.conf file, then i get the standard ugly windows "the page
cannot be found" mess. (and yes, i have checked, /my_custom_page.html
IS on the server, and it IS viewable if you browse directly to it.)
anyone have any idea what is up here?
thanks
-k

Wild guess: You're using MS Internet Explorer, your settings say "show
friendly http error messages" or something like that and your
my_custom_page.html is shorter than 512 bytes? Under these
circumstances MS IE won't display the custom error message..
As mentiond - just a guess 
Regards,
johannes
